What’s an “immutable” distro? Is this like the OSS version of a closed/prop kernel?

This is an accurate take.

With superhuman strength, you need to exercise 6-8 hours per day for minor benefits, whereas most regular people start seeing benefits from even 15 minutes of moderate walking per day.

Just the gamers. Real live tabletop players often forget about half of their inventory and rely on “what works” to get them out of trouble, when it doesn’t, they do crazy shit like spill oil and then throw a candle at it to set the entire tavern on fire.

Day One Beta Cheats in BF6

The guy carrying tanks of napalm smoking a cigarette always gets to me 😁

KDE Plasma is genuinely good

Kubuntu is a drop-in replacement for Windows 10

It’s difficult to find, Project Rene is over two years old now, this is some early test demo footage:

Project Rene or whatever the hell Sims 5 was supposed to be was suffering from significant takeoff, vision, conceptual and design issues.

Every day, five or six designers would argue about if a feature was inclusive enough, a gesture was offensive, a Simlish term or phrase was close enough to a real life slur.

What they learned was that reality is actually quite cruel and biased and creating their perfect garden hedge-maze of a game removed the essence and life out of it. Sims 5 did not reflect the reality that players actually experienced or had day-to-day, and it was entirely the designer’s fault.

They had created the very thing they despised, a cookie-cutter digital suburbian barbie doll house. With multiplayer, ripe for trolling.

So yeah, I’m not surprised Sims 5 was cancelled.

Ergonomic chairs, high end sports cars, and staying active has kept my back in great shape.

Before piracy there were demos and shareware, which let you see if your machine could handle the game or content and give you a vertical slice, and let you show it to friends for word of mouth advertising.

Then, Steam put a two hour refund window with no questions asked, which helped a lot of “this crashes on start, I can’t open this at all on a RTX 4090/high end PC, 15 FPS in the fog, etc”.

Developers learned from that and they began padding/gating content behind two hours of gameplay, so you wouldn’t know until 3-4 hours in that the game was grindy dogshit (SCUM, Ark, Empyrion, and countless other Early Access and sometimes full release titles like NMS on launch day for example).

So the correct thing to do, and it’s what I do: Pirate the game, make sure it runs/works and is fun and there’s no “gotcha” traps or hidden DLCs or other predatory mechanics involved, and THEN pay for the full title on Steam+DLCs and just continue the save.

My Steam Account has actually already been flagged over a dozen times for this because my primary savegames are like Razor1911.sav, and so far it’s still in good status because I am actually spending a couple thousand/year on content.

It’s theory of mind and consciousness level stuff. I don’t really know; I read about it ages ago and that was the conclusion, it was “pod behavior” and not vengeance or something higher-level.

Basically, the bar for a behavior/explanation has to be very high in science.

Orcas began attacking [all] yachts as if they were sentient because their friends got struck by propellers.

Scientists said that orcas are not conscious enough to connect the two things, and that it’s just an example of “pod play”.

Obviously, anyone with half a brain can tell you animals can feel things and hold a grudge, but it’s not scientifically rigorous

“I told you so”?

Doing the speed limit while cruising in the middle lane is the proper way to travel in the United States, or just going with the flow of traffic. Being predictable is safe.

If the road you’re on has a 80 MPH speed limit however, and people are doing 90-100 in the left lane (+10-20) it is exceedingly difficult to pass someone without temporarily going high speeds yourself.

I’ve had a much easier life following a super easy rule for highways:

Left lane: Passing/Fast

Middle lane: Cruising

Right lane: Exit/Slow

If I’m in the left lane doing 110 MPH and there’s a pickup truck right on my ass, I’ll signal and go middle lane and just cruise for a bit.

9 times out of 10, I’ll see that exact same pickup or other car on the right shoulder with a state trooper writing him up.

It’s happened so often in my life, it’s made me believe in “instant karma”. Just let them pass.

Hell yeah, I love scientists 😎

You’re right 👍

I guess this makes me an engineer using FP4 and not FP64

F = M×A

So if your F and A are constants (e.g: Where A is the gravity of the Earth) you solve for M.

Also known as a balancing scale.

Magrail works too.

The latest LD&R season is utterly forgettable. It’s like mediocre digital art student summer projects, designed to build up a portfolio, there’s no rhyme or substance to it, just all style or visual demonstration.

You’re not missing much.

Oh holy shit.

I think you’re actually right, it’s probably Denuvo tanking performance

You have to enable HDR in the Windows 10 settings, do Win+I, type “HD Color”, and then set your AMD display drivers to “Color Correction” in Display to adjust for the bad Win10 HDR implementation.

My recommendation is:

Temperature: 10000

Brightness: -10

Hue: 0 (default)

Contrast: 120

Saturation: 165

Then enable HDR in Dark Ages, followed by FSR and Frame Gen, if you want.

HDR is the key.
